Long post and well worth the read, but the interesting part to me is this:
Windows operating system and apps
Customers using Windows have always used a combination of operating system functionality as well as apps, but now Windows will clearly identify operating system functionality in places like Settings, Start, and Search:
- Settings > System > System Components will show notable operating system components.
- Start menu’s All Apps list has been renamed to All and operating system components are labeled with “system”.
- Under Search, search results will show operating system components labeled with “system”.
All apps in Windows can be uninstalled. Of course, apps can always be installed again from the Microsoft Store and internet. Settings > Apps > Installed apps continue to show all the apps installed on the PC and we’ve added the ability to uninstall:
- Camera
- Cortana
- Web Search from Microsoft Bing, in the EEA
- Microsoft Edge, in the EEA
- Photos
Drivers? Do you mean the kernel modules that get automatically loaded without a problem on each boot?
My audio works really well. Why wouldn't it? The ALSA days are long gone and pulseaudio has matured enough to work great, even with Bluetooth.
I even got Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator working, I'm never going back to an OS that breaks its own photo viewer app with an update. Twice.
